In the shared-world shooter The Division, a new event is live. Over the weekend, there are additional rewards.
One cannot really complain about loot scarcity in The Division. But if you have been searching for that one item for weeks that just won’t drop, you should try your luck this weekend. Because a new event with additional rewards is running.
- From June 16 at 2 AM to June 19 at 2 AM, a “Special Event Weekend” is being held in The Division.
- You need to defeat named bosses. They drop additional rewards for you.
The event is already underway. If you have a day off today on Friday, you can start right away.
Such weekend events have occurred from time to time in the past – always with different requirements. This time, it’s the named bosses’ turn.
Weekend events are set to occur more frequently with 1.7
The biggest new feature of update 1.7 will be the global events. These will be more extensive than these weekend events and are intended to make the previous PvE activities more attractive with modifiers.
Global events will, however, only be held once a month and last for a week. In other words, in the weeks following an event, the biggest new feature of update 1.7 will not be available.
Massive has already stated that between these global events, smaller events in the “double rewards weekend style” will occur more frequently. They want to keep player motivation high so that players log in regularly – there should always be something to do.
Are you participating in the event this weekend? Are you specifically hunting the named bosses, or just taking out the ones that cross your path?
